I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach

Review by Tilly

I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach by Allison and Wayne Marks! This book is about two kids named Jack and Jillian who enter a cooking contest together that will be live on TV. The person running the contest, Phineas Farnsworth III, is Jack’s idol. Jillian’s mom died, and Farnsworth really wants her to talk about it at the competition, but Jillian doesn’t want to. Farnsworth tries to get Jack to convince her, and Jack almost does it. But then he finds something out that turns him against Farnsworth. There’s a plot twist that’s really unexpected! I would probably rate this book 4/5 stars. I also really liked the recipes at the end of the book. I am going to make the rugelach! I think this book is perfect for kids who like stories about baking, kindness, and friendship!

Left Me Hungry!

Review by JuDu2016

This was a really good book. I was absorbed like sugar into dough, and it really stuck with me. The conflict between the characters and the baking made me crave every page!

I could not put the book down. It gets so interesting once you get through the first or second chapter. The ending is so surprising; if you like baking, you will love it! choose this book and I promise you will love it.

The $150,000 Rugelach

Review by Tennis12

This book is about a cooking competition and it brings together two kids. One of them uses all of the latest cooking supplies while the other one is old fashioned and uses wooden spoons. What will happen when these two come together? Will they be able to win the $150,000?
